Making fat that people want

About us

MelliCell develops therapeutics for diabetes and obesity using proprietary technologies that model of weight gain in human fat cells in vitro. Our core technology enables discovery of therapeutic targets and leads, while reducing the time and money required for efficacy screening. It efficiently turns human stem cells into fat cells and accelerates their growth to sizes that are thousands of times larger than conventional limits and that match the sizes of mature fat cells in adults. Changes in fat cell size are how adults gain (or lose) weight, and increased fat cell size predicts diabetes better than obesity per se. The products we develop will treat obesity and diabetes by shrinking fat cell size and by preventing compromised metabolism in enlarged cells. We differentiate ourselves from existing therapies (e.g. GLP-1 analogs, SGLT2 inhibitors, anorexiants, intestinal lipase inhibitors, insulin secretagogues) by focusing on adipocyte-intrinsic mechanisms of action enabled by our core technology.
